Today in Mexico the VIC team woke in search of the forbidden liner at Boca De Muertos. Teddy Vlasis, Johnny Salta, and Jack Howie made the trek to get out of Laguna Beach and get themselves into some warm water dream waves. Driving into the beach we passed a graveyard overlooking a peeling right liner sitting on a coastline that seemed abandoned. The river was flowing into the south side of the beach pouring tons of sand onto a bar that sent perfect spinners right onto the sand.
We began the first part of the session that saw the boys getting into some pacific power as the more exposed side of the beach picks up solid swell. To access this part of the beach we had to cross the chest deep river with all the boards and camera gear. Once we made the passage we were so amped to skim that we forgot the camera gear was right at the top of the slope, and as a large set wave came rushing up the slope Johnny Salta sprinted toward the gear and as he scooped the bags he connected his toe with one of the skims leaving a large hole on the bottom of his big toe. A little field dressing with duct tape and super glue had Johnny back in the water.
The waves were fun but the swell was pumping so the Johnny and Jack jumped in for a few waves on their surfs. Meanwhile Teddy wandered back to the sandbar we passed on the way in and started to get a few, and people took notice. We all ran back to the sandbar that was reeling waist high liners down a perfectly angled bar, and the guys were seeing who could wrap and get the furthest down the line. We ended the day with quesadillas and tacos at Tripas moms restaurant, recapping the days bangers over a few cold beers.
